Mark Albrighton Posted September 6 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6 I’m sorry for the levity, but the parking charge increase immediately reminded me of this - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 This is so funny, he's such an idiot. He could even have got away with sneaking these through if he did it in a busy week. Certainly in terms of wider attention. Launches it at the start of a window with no game for two weeks. How stupid can you be Hope he likes cabbage.

Sawiris is no mug, he must be fuming too. I don't think the owners would ever get involved at these levels. He probably will never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 6 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6 I can’t believe we charge for disabled parking in the first place, let alone double it with no notice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The negative media coverage Villa has picked up in the last 48 hours there’s no way he doesn’t know/won’t find out very soon. That’s before our caricature of a pitiless US capitalist explicitly went after the disabled. It’s so awful it’s almost funny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Cameron would be proud of it if he remembered to also stop supporting West Ham. It's cruelty for the sake of it. There's zero to gain from this beyond condemnation and more fan anger. Is that the gambit here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDR V2 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) I wonder if that off duty paramedic that saved that fan in the lower holte has received for bill for the free season ticket yet Edited September 6 by TDR V2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative publicity always outweighs good. Would not be surprised to see Heck shown the door just to save face in the not too distant future. It's really not a good last few days for the club is it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Had the club come out and said these are the prices that get us through PSR this season then it would have been hard to swallow but at least some sort of communication. its just a massive cash grab and so much so it could derail the home games with a bad atmosphere and protests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he is really, when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDR V2 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Regardless of what deals he's done or signed I think the sooner he does one the better. Another 2 years under him and we won't have any relationship with the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring someone in to make all the unpopular changes and take all the blame, give him a golden handshake when he goes 'too far', and come out of it looking like the good guys? He's certainly never come across like a man worried about the long term or being liked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) 100% increase on disabled parking just seems so petty and unessascary it's not been a good week for the club off the field, a PR disaster it's not a good look for Aston Villa as a whole Nas and Wes need to get in there and rattle a few feathers to get the PR train back on track Edited September 6 by imavillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH Emery has done more to earn those deal increases than Heck through the upturn on the pitch imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG_Villa_Fan Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 4 hours ago, CVByrne said: Mind elaborating your views? increased revenue = increased spending on the squad = increased performances on the pitch Increased performances on the pitch benefits all fans. Increased ticket prices impacts a minority of fans and doesn't impact the majority of fans as they don't attend games. So the majority of fans aren't impacted by ticket prices and do benefit from the improvements in the playing squad. Please give you counter points to this. Thanks I think this is the most arrogant post I’ve read anywhere on the internets. Wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
